Celadon is excited to announce a new book from New York Times bestselling authors Armen Keteyian and Lars Anderson.
Pitched as MONEYBALL meets THE ANXIOUS GENERATION for youth sports, THE CHASE is a deeply reported, multilayered narrative of the fraught world of youth sports. It’s told through the intimate stories of families caught on the hamster wheel of ambition and expectation of greatness and looks at the lengths they’ll go to obtain it. Its exhaustive reporting and lively storytelling will take readers across America and consider how we got here and what it means for our children.
“We see it on the sidelines at our kids’ games: parents obsessing over youth sports and spending tens of thousands on their children to chase impossible dreams,” says Ryan Doherty, Vice President and Editor-in-Chief at Celadon Books. “There is beauty in youth sports but also those who go too far. THE CHASE will celebrate youth sports and serve as a cautionary tale for athletes, parents, and coaches. Lars and Armen are two top investigative sports reporters, and this book will change how readers think about the youth sports complex.”
Doherty acquired the book from Susan Canavan at WLA Books.
